The Our Girl Addicts Thread 77 Stay focused. we're now watching Downton Abbey

[Ilovelblue]

This is our tenth anniversary of sharing our thoughts on Our Girl series one and have subsequently watched the other three series, followed by Soldier Soldier, The Musketeers, Spooks and Hustle so thought it was time to try something different. Please join us and share your thoughts if you have ever been a fan of Downton Abbey. We are currently on series five, episode eight.

Lord Merton's son is another ignorant so and so. This episode is full of them!

Perhaps Violet would be the most delighted if Isabel didn't get married.

Oh looks like Edith is quite interested in Bertie Pelham and Mary looking kindly on Henry Talbot. Are we about to see new love stories at Downton?

Violet seems to like the idea that Isabel won't be marrying Lord Merton.

Lord G really has a problem. Could be serious

Spratt has worked out that Miss Denker was trying to pass the broth off as her own. Gosh, he is spiteful. He poured it down the sink.

oooh...err....awkward, Lord Sinderby appears to have another woman and there is a child with the same name as him. Rose tries to spare her Father-in-law's blushes.

Who is this? Is it somebody Lord Sinderby had a fling with?

Someone has dropped the poor lady in it by sending her a telegram pretending she is invited there...I think we know who might have done it.

Oh quick thinking Rose. Now you will have your father in law in your debt. Very useful

All a bit awkward and I'm not sure it really deserves such a smiling and happy resolution. Surely, it would make you feel very uneasy, knowing that about your Father-in-law?

Tom knows the truth about Marigold and says as much to Edith.

Yes that was all a bit to smooth. Complete about face from.Lord S seems highly unlikely to me. A bit sheepish maybe but not a complete climb down like that

Edith works out Bertie's prospects.

A "snappy chariot" - yes Matthew had one of those too. Well, off goes the rather suave chap.

Gosh, here we go again, Bates has left and written a letter to say he killed Mr Green. Do we believe it?

Soooooooooo tiresome this Anna/Mr Bates prison stuff.

Yes Mr solicitor, "It is a very frustrating situation" - we are fed up with it!

Violet lies to get one over on Spratt.

Yes that's shook him

Oh Lord zg has an ulcer

Ah, Christmas 1924, that's nice.

When was sellotape invented?

I will express my gratitude when the prison stories are finally over!

Google tells me 1937.

Mrs Hughes was doing a great job with the present wrapping.
